Sun and Beach - chill-out place in Hong Kong

after the typhoon, it has been raining for more then a week here in hong kong. 

how i miss the sun and beach!  haha!

hong kong is an crazy city: crowdy, noisy, busy.  it’s really not my cup of tea.

however, being my home town, there are still lovely things around.   the one receiving the highest rating from me should be the pretty beaches here.

lucky we are, there are many pretty beaches in hong kong.  some are big, some are small, some are lousy and crowded with tourists, some are quiet and hip.  for me, i love going to the big wave beach and the southern beach in hong kong, both are small but hip. 

the beaches in hong kong are not only for summer, they are good for winter too.  in summer, you could swim or play some water sports and would be able to see many pretty bikini girls and cool guys playing around.  the water is warm and the sun is hot.  for winter, when there is soft sunshine and the weather is warm, it’s really relaxing to bring a book to read at the beach. 

if the weather is fine, i would normally spend a day in the beach during the weekend, finding some shelter under the tree, laying on a mat, reading a book, writing some articles, listening to music, drinking a glass of champagne or white wine, swimming for a while, taking a nap with the message of sea breeze, nothing could be more comforting and refreshing.   the blue sky, white cloud, the golden sunshine and the crystal blue water are the perfect combinations for a relaxing afternoon. 

big wave beach, which is one of my favourite beaches to visit during the weekend, is famous for surfing.  driving to the beach from the hong kong central areas is around 30 mins drive (of course we could take a minibus or taxi to get there).  the road leading to the beach is challenging, narrow and with lots of sharp turns.  if you like driving, the route is already fun for you. 

there are many surfers staying in the big wave beach all over the year.  in summer, this beach is rather hot and crowded, but one would still be able to find a quiet corner if so wish.  for winter, here is a paradise, with only some surfers, a few visitors, very quiet and peaceful.  there are many local shops selling food, drinks and beach stuffs, if you forget to bring something, don’t worry, you could always buy it at the local shops. 

there is one sea-side bar at the big wave beach.  it’s decorations are most basic and natural.  after a week’s busy and stressful work, this bar is a great place for chill-out in a sunny day. 

if you are visiting hong kong and you are not too rush in your schedule, this lovely big wave beach would worth you a visit.
